I didn't know Doris well, but she was one of those coworkers who always put a smile on my face when I saw her heading my way. One day, while I was working at the front desk of our office building, I started singing to myself. Uptown Girl had been stuck in my head for weeks and it just came bursting out of me. I'd thought no one was around, but then from around the corner comes Doris. She starts singing with me, so I jumped up and we danced around like kids until we forgot the lyrics. We laughed, and she gave me a hug, then we went back to our designated work spaces to get on with our day. That was pretty indicative of who Doris was to me. It's one of my best workplace memories, and I'll cherish it always. My deepest condolences to those of you missing her today.

I had the privilege and pleasure of having Doris’ son Charles II as a student of mine at the Point Defiance Greenhouse. When I met Doris for the first time I knew right away where Charles’ charm, kindness and politeness came from. In the few short conversations we had I could tell what a wonderful person she was and a very loving mother. She had a special sparkle about her and such a positive energy to her. The whole Clark have always shown her same qualities. I am so sorry for your loss. I will have you all in my thoughts and prayers. When I last saw Doris and Charles at the fair she really wanted me to go see Charles where he works. I am definitely going to do that. He is a very special person and the best student I ever had!!! Sincerely, Kris Johnson

My Sister, I still cannot believe you are not here physically. We shared our birthday and our love for the Seahawks. I will treasure our last visit forever. I will miss your beautiful voice and your sense of humor. Rest on sis! My thoughts and prayers are with Charles and the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Doris whileshe was the Head Choir Director at
Roosevelt Heights COGIC. I had never worked with anyone who had perfect before.
It was amazing to me she could just "pick notes out of the air" for us to sing, and she was almost never wrong. She didn't need a piano, a pitch pipe or our suggestions, lol
She let us know when she wasn't satisfied, but always had us sounding great. I hadn't talked to her in a fewyears, but it is sad to know that her talent and expertise are longer in this world. I willbe glad to work with her again in that "great gettin' up morning"

Oh, NO! This saddens me so very much. I had the privilege of serving with Doris in the Pierce County Sheriffs Department. She was an excellent Deputy, and a great partner. We shared some memorable times while working together in the Courthouse Security Unit, including stopping a mentally disturbed man from lighting himself on fire in a courtroom. One time we were stuck for a few minutes in an elevator in the County-City Building, and some of the other passengers were becoming upset. Doris started softly singing "Waliking In Memphis", acapella, and everyone calmed down, thanks to her beautiful voice.
Rest In Peace, Doris. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.
